Quote of the Day 20080411

“We need people in our lives with whom we can be as open as possible. To have real conversation with people may seem like such a simple, obvious suggestion, but it involves courage and risk.” — Thomas Moore

I’m not sure which Thomas Moore this quote should be attributed to. Does anyone out there know? I’ve linked to a list of several different people named Thomas Moore at wikipedia. It would be nice to know which one it is.

Now to the quote itself. This is so true. For a long time, I’ve felt as if there wasn’t anyone with whom I could be completely open, I didn’t even want to be completely open w/ anyone. It does take courage and it is a risk. But bottling everything up inside is a risk to and is very lonely. Are you open with someone? As you open up to people are you nervous? Or even scared?
